Toccata in E minor BWV 914 (Bach)
Movements
i [no tempo indication], ii Un Poco Allegro, iii Adagio, iv Fuga: Allegro
Notes
The Toccata in E minor, BWV914, is a well-constructed and appealing work. Adagio is the third of four movements. The cadenza-like adagio is written over a descending bass line and is marked ‘Praeludium’ in one copy made by a Bach student, which leads us to think that it was perhaps an independent composition before being recycled as part of the toccata.
